a symphony of death

i was looking for a boy like you to come along
come along when i check my phone
we can keep it lowkey
don't @ me at the function
guess that's my bad
throwing up at the function
meet in the junction
in your head
it's a mess
that's a bass reduction to the left
we keep the ??
what's left unsaid
the rest
hardly even sympathies
a symphony of death
black cherry waste away gardens full of grace
black cherry wipe away my burden full of faith

good friends
bad blood
two lungs
one gun
one future
one passed
one moment
won't last
im sick of this place
im tired of this town
where nothing goes up
and it all comes down
im sick of your face
because im sick of that frown
im a liar and a coward
but i aint no clown
not today
not for certain
not for you

how it goes
02:08
|
|||
|
i couldn’t wait
to see you again
i counted the days
that we were just friends
and now it’s today
i couldn’t pretend
i don’t wanna know how it goes
sometimes i think i think too much
but sometimes i dont
sometimes theres nothing at all
i like that the most

i dreamt again
01:32
|
|||
|
i dreamt again
made the same mistake
i closed my eyes
found another day
i open up
while i’m wide awake
and in that space
begin to decay
tell me how
it still feels the same
i tried again
im still in my way
i never learn
from my own mistakes
i’m in between
in front and around
the only thing
that’s holding me down
and under it all
i couldn’t be found

keep it that way
02:04
|
|||
|
there’s a place i know
where nobody goes
and i wanna keep it that way
there’s a slug instead
inside of my head
where everything moves too slow
and i’m away she said
asleep in her bed
she’s thinkin i don’t know she’s home
but i don’t care enough
to call out her bluff
and i wanna keep it that way
there’s a thought i think
i made a mistake
it’s the first thing that came to my mind
there’s a subtle pain
inside of my brain
and everything surrounding
but im a talking toy
im hearing my voice
saying i shouldn’t appear
there’s a place i go
when nodody knows
and wanna keep it that way
there’s a time for this
when everything fits
and i’m sitting inside of myself
there’s a place, i think
i made a mistake
maybe i know nothing at all
i don’t wanna die
but sometimes i lie
and i think i just did it again
there’s a place i know
that nobody goes
and i wanna keep it that way

over & over
03:14

once a time
i was waiting to find
i was wasting my time
it was all in any mind
once again i've been known to forget
every moment in bed
it was all in my head
black and mild every once in a while aint that bad
in bloom it's a miracle
yeah I keep the same old tune on the stereo
nicotine out the side of my bedroom
hope i don't listen too hard
hope I stare too long at the fullmoon
i can see the look on your face when I tell you
i don't wanna live that long
over and over
again
it's a circular motion
im stuck at the end of
the first time I called
i knew that I couldn't pretend
i've been waiting for something to change
|

see this through
01:06
|
|||
|
waste my time
where’d you go
strangely i still think i wanna see this through
|

she want a daddy
02:18
|
|||
|
im still lost
in all of your faces
i can never figure it out
i find myself
in all the wrong places
hoping i can figure out
i woke up again
with one thing on my mind
how to get the smile that’s on
every face but mine
sometimes i wonder how it ever got this way
yeah i’m a sinner
but you ain’t a saint
she told me she love me
but i know that she don’t love me
and i know she loves adventure
and i know she want a daddy
and she know i ain’t got nothing
and damn if that ain’t the truth
m’m still tired of all of the motion
maybe I could settle it down
i find myself in front of the mirror
staring right back at a clown

something more
01:24
|
|||
|
when i go away sometimes
keep me on say "I won't give in"
i just wanna know how good you feel
i just wanna how that body does
keep me open board for something more
i don't wanna feel your pain anymore
I don't like wasting
when you're gonna then you're gone
and im on my own
|

the other guy
02:00
|
|||
|
i saw you on the television picking up speed
you’re the only other person that can scare me in my dreams
it was only seven thirty when you said you couldn’t sleep
i didn’t want to think that you would ever be so mean
criss crossing intertwined on your bed frame underneath
and i think that i know why i let you get the best of me
every time that i come over
always happy when I leave
but the other guy does he know about me
does he know about the way you say "i love you" when you mean it
it’s a good thing all our friends are really good at keeping secrets
yeah it’s obvious but sometimes i pretend i do not see it
same time next week be discrete we’ll be
|

today
01:02
|
|||
|
gimme a way
to find an escape
im sorry im late
im sorry
i paid you in full
im still in the maze
i wanted to know
all the things you hate
gimme a reason why i never looked too hard
gimme a way to feel like nothing’s all that far
|
||||
14. |
tried enough
01:12
|
|||
|
i’ve tried enough to reach you
you don’t seem to care at all
it’s always everywhere except the place i want it all
i don’t care if im the only one who ever sees you fall
if only i could ever pick you up
if you would ever call
my phone’s been ringing
on the hour
i know it’s my at fault
i just want to meet you on an open line
and let go of it all
my phone still ringing
every minute feels like it’s been none at all
between the time when i could see you
and whatever time i called
i’ve tried enough
|
||||
15. |
warm
01:24
|
|||
|
i can’t get warm
when i’m without without you
i tried to find a place
that’s not blue
the time goes by
and never change
there’s been enough of that these days
i can’t get warm
when i’m without without you
i can’t get warm
when i’m without without you
i guess that’s what it always what it comes to
i fell for two when it was one
i can’t believe what God has done

wasp
01:28
|
|||
|
thinking outrageously I write in cursive
i hide in my bed with the lights on the floor
wearing three layers of coats and leg warmers
i see my own breath on the face of the door
oh, i am not quite sleeping
oh, i am fast in bed
there on the wall in the bedroom creeping
i see a wasp with her wings outstretched
|
||||
17. |
when i make a mistake
03:14
|
|||
|
when i’m inside
looking through my eyes
i can’t help the
picture in mind
so i see you in the movies
so i see you in the streets
it’s a skip
that my heart takes
when i make a mistake
it’s the thrill
in my body
when i think
it’s your face
i go downtown
to hide out in the streets
scared to see you
in every face i meet
so i see you in the movies
so i see you in the streets
it’s a skip
that my heart takes
when i make a mistake
it’s the thrill
in my body
when i think
it’s your face
